Compile Postgres 8.2.4 under Windows failing - Mailing list pgsql-admin

I am currently running Windows XP Pro and need to re-compile PostgreSQL as
we need to increase the length of the NAMEDATALENGTH parameter to 128.

Before attempting to change this value I thought I would see if I could
successfully compile PostgreSQl under Windows.

I downloaded and installed all options in MingGW-5.1.3.exe to the directory
c:\MinGW
I downloaded postgresql-8.2.4.tar.bz2 and extracted the files.

I started MSys and cd to the location of Postgres extract
I ran ./configure --without-zlib successfully - exit 0
When I run make install I get the following output and can't work out what's
wrong.

make -C doc install

gzip -d -c ./postgres.tar.gz | ( cd /usr/local/pgsql/doc/html && /bin/tar xf

What am I doing wrong?
